Veratrum Nigrum - Distribution and Habitat

Distribution and Habitat

Veratrum nigrum is native to Asia and Europe. The plant can exist in hardiness zones 4 through 7. It grows best in shade or partial shade, with wet or moist grounds conditions. Any nutrient-rich soil supports its growth, although one source observes that it prefers calcium-rich soil. Another source observes that the bed must be fairly deep.
